• American Splendor
• Batman
  Kate sez: “Tim Burton+Michael Keaton = delicious Batman fun”
  Eden sez: “I do like this, as intentionally silly as it is.”
• Blade
• The Crow
  Kate sez: “My college boyfriend looked just like The Crow and he dressed up as The Crow every Halloween. Aside from this movie being awesome, it holds a weird place in my heart because of Tony Rett.”
• Daredevil
  Kate sez: “I am the only person I know who liked this adaptation.”
• Elektra
  Eden sez: “Jennifer Garner in red leather? What’s not to like?”
  
• Ghost World
  Eden sez: “It’s not only a dead-on adaptation but also one of the best portrayals of being a quirky teenage girl.”
• Hellboy I
  Eden sez: “Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman are a geeky match made in heaven. It’s not the comic — not exactly — but I go back and forth which version I love more.”
• Iron Man
  Kate sez: “Robert Downey, JR as Tony Stark = supersupersuper hot comic book fantasy material.”
• Mystery Men
  Kate sez: “I <3 this movie. It’s whimsical fun and je t’aime JG as The Baby Bowler.”
• NANA
  Eden sez: “If you’re not reading Ai Yawaza’s NANA, you should be, but this is such a wonderful take on it. The bands’ music comes alive, the actresses are perfect and adorable and the costumes and set design are so perfect.”
• Sin City
  Kate sez: “This is my FAVORITE comic book movie!!  I love Miller’s book and I think that it was an exceptionally well done, very visual adaptation with strong character performances.  Love love love!!!”
• Spawn
• Spiderman
  Kate sez: “It’s such a bummer the other Spidey movies suck so badly, Rami started off so well with this first one…”
• Superman
  Kate sez: “Loved it as a kid!”
• Tank Girl
  Eden sez: “Insane Lori Petty, adorably geeked-out Naomi Watts, gruff Ice-T in kangaroo makeup and scene-chewing from Malcolm McDowell all in a crazy post-apocalyptic wasteland. It may not be the best movie you’ll ever see, but few are going to be more fun. Its self-awareness makes it awesome.”
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  Kate sez: “As I learned this past year at Comic Con, hardcore TMNT fans approve of this adaptation.”
• V for Vendetta
• X-Men
  Eden sez: “This was a dream come true for so many comic fans and while some quibbled over the changes (like a teenage Rogue), it captured the spirit and the relationships wonderfully. And Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier? So awesome.”
